Sage.

And parsley and rosemary.

And thyme.
 
why is Barboza on the list? he is pretty established compared to the rest

the upcoming fight between Jake Matthews and Stevie Ray is between 2 of the best up and coming LW's imo, but theres a lot of good prospects. Id struggle to name them all
 
They don't get much younger than Paige, and Sage. Both are talented but have to be brought along slowly. With a logical progression in the level of talent of the people they fight.

Both have big holes. But work on those weak points, and imagine what you just MIGHT have a few years from now. I enjoy watching young fighters, and trying to predict where it may all lead. But mostly I just keep track to myself and look for improvements. I don't praise them or blast them in public.

There are many young fighters emerging and that number will grow every year. It's actually an exciting time for a young fighter. Put in the work and see where it goes.
 
Max Holloway. Great combo of youth and experience.

Young:
Yair
Sage

this is pretty spot on, although I not a big fan of strickland you cant deny him a spot on this list.
I would also like to add Amirkhani. His last fight wasnt the most exciting but a 8 sec flying knee KO and a first round submission over Masio Fullen and a strong wrestling background Im expecting some more fireworks from him
 
It's probably both Almeida and Sterling. I know they're both in the same weight class but that doesn't cancel out the fact that they are both undefeated, electrifying and have a ton of potential still. The other guy is the best guy on Earth. At 28 and still unbeaten Jon Jones fits the description of the most exciting young fighter in the world. The only other name that I can't stop thinking about in this context is Aaron Pico. I realize that the guy has yet to have an MMA fight but with that wrestling, those hands and the praise from guys like Bob Cook, I think this kid is incredibly exciting and can't wait to see what he will do.
